Brush Up Your Proficiency

As always, "Food is Heaven" closed its doors, and looking at the record-breaking turnover of 860,000, Cheng Yufei and the others were already somewhat numb.

This seemingly limitless growth gave them the illusion that making money had become so easy. Why hadn't they felt this way before?

This daily progress filled them with great satisfaction.

Cheng Yufei and the others reaped the satisfaction of money, while Wang Hao reaped the satisfaction of proficiency.

As the midnight snack was completed, the final culinary skill proficiency notification of the day also appeared.

"Congratulations, your advanced culinary skill proficiency +6, current proficiency: Advanced Culinary Skills 9616/10000"

Watching the proficiency progress get closer and closer to perfection, Wang Hao couldn't help but smile, swaying with obvious joy.

Along this journey, the proficiency of his culinary skills seemed to be on steroids, its growth rate was astonishing, something Wang Hao couldn't have imagined before.

Who would have thought that in just a few days, the tens of thousands of proficiency points that seemed out of reach before were now within his grasp? With less than four hundred points remaining, he could easily achieve it tomorrow.

This joy of reaping the rewards after hard work intoxicated Wang Hao.

Time flew by, and a long time had passed since he last upgraded his Erhu skill to advanced and successfully unlocked the reading skill.

During this time, Wang Hao had been looking forward to acquiring new skills again, but unfortunately, the system didn't seem to give him that opportunity.

Currently, due to the high difficulty of upgrading the reading skill, coupled with the fact that he focused most of his energy on improving his culinary skills, it would be difficult to upgrade the reading skill to an advanced level in a short period of time.

However, Wang Hao was not discouraged. He pondered to himself: "If I can brush the advanced skill to the top level, what will happen? Will it trigger some hidden functions, or get more powerful skills?"

This idea filled him with anticipation and excitement. Whenever he thought of this, his mood was as clear as a sunny day. Even the subtle expressions on his face could hardly conceal the joy in his heart.

After everyone finished eating the midnight snack together, Chang Lei gathered everyone together. Amidst the employees' puzzled expressions, Cheng Yufei stood in the center, spiritedly announcing the refined salary increase resolution.

"Ahem, after a collective vote by the shareholders of our restaurant, I now announce that 'Food is Heaven' has passed the proposal put forward by the third boss, Wang Hao."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yufei deliberately paused for a moment, watching everyone look at her with curiosity. She now knew why those competition variety shows always liked to use this trick.

Not bad, this feeling is quite good!

After a pause, Cheng Yufei continued: "A collective salary increase for all employees! The proposal will take effect this month, and will be reflected in various salaries next month!"

As soon as these words came out, the employees were silent for a moment, and then their eyes lit up with excitement. The cheers that followed immediately resounded throughout the restaurant.

Ma Yang, who had already understood the situation in advance, instantly recorded this boiling scene with the camera. The instinctive shouts made people feel full of power.

Standing in front, Wang Hao knew that Cheng Yufei's speech had exaggerated his role.

However, he did not refute it. Looking at the increasingly familiar colleagues in front of him, cheering, he was also genuinely happy for them.

"Thank you, bosses, the bosses are generous!"

"We will definitely work hard and live up to the trust of the bosses!"

Such words echoed in the restaurant, bringing the joyful mood to a peak.

And those employees who did not express their opinions also had the same thoughts in their hearts.

It is as rare as winning the lottery to find such a fairy restaurant that gives money at every turn and takes the initiative to raise salaries. How could they not cherish it?

This exciting atmosphere lasted for a while, and the employees' enthusiasm gradually subsided. They looked at the three bosses in front of them with burning eyes, their eyes radiating admiration.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Cheng Yufei asked Chang Lei to announce the specific plan.

Every time a department was mentioned, the crowd would cheer, and the continuous cheers represented their blessings and congratulations for their future.

Cheng Yufei's salary increase brought spiritual encouragement to everyone, making them feel the rewards of hard work.

They walked on the road, their steps were light, as if an invisible force was pushing them forward. Although they had been busy all day, they felt no fatigue at this moment.

And the peers who witnessed all this in the dark watched silently with different thoughts.

Some people's eyes showed envy, hoping to have such a good life like them;

Some people secretly sighed why they couldn't be as lucky as them, and a trace of jealousy arose in their hearts;

Still others fell into contemplation, thinking about how to change the status quo.

However, no matter how turbulent these peers were in their hearts, they still maintained calm on the surface.

They watched silently, like the calm before the storm, waiting for a certain moment to arrive.

Wang Hao returned home and told his sister about the big and small things that happened during the day.

He knew that his sister liked to stay at home, so he suggested that she go out for a walk and play with Xingyun's classmates.

He said earnestly: "The postgraduate entrance examination is just a goal, not the whole of life. While striving to pursue your dreams, you must also learn to enjoy life. As long as you do your best, even if the final result is not satisfactory, you will not have any regrets."

As someone who had been there, Wang Hao tried to encourage his sister with his own experience.

However, his sister didn't seem to buy it, with a speechless expression on her face. She pouted and said:

"What kind of poisonous chicken soup is this? I won't drink it! I know very well about the postgraduate entrance examination, so don't worry about it."

In this information-exploding Internet age, young people are exposed to far more information than Wang Hao imagined. They may know better than adults how to face challenges and choices. Although they are young, their thoughts are already very mature.
